Last fall the Russian Orthodox Parish of the Protection of the Virgin Mary in Ottawa began a fundraising campaign with the goal of collecting $ 100,000 to restore the main dome of the parish church.

Generous contributions have allowed the parish to raise 25% of the needed funds. We humbly call upon your kind help to collect the remaining 75%

Built in 1988, our white brick church with a blue roof and golden domes has become a landmark in Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. The church is located just west of downtown. It is visible from the scenic Ottawa River Parkway, from the main transit line, and from many downtown buildings including the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. Due to this prime location, the church has become not only a prominent architectural landmark but is also a visible symbol of the Orthodox Christian faith, in a modern and increasingly secularized world, to thousands of commuters, tourists and passersby. Please consider donating for this important project: to restore the beauty of the domes! Donations can be made at the church or through the parish website (www.memorialchurch.ca) or through GoFundMe. A tax receipt will be issued for all donations. May God bless you and reward you for your generous contributions!
